How to Start the Setup Utility

Normally, the only visible Power-On Self-Test (POST) routine is the memory test.
As the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of
the AMI BIOS setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup
screens. An AMI BIOS identifi cation string is displayed at the left bottom corner of
the screen, below the copyright message.
Warning: Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue.
Flashing the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the system. In no event shall
Supermicro be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages
arising from a BIOS update. If you have to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset
the system while the BIOS is updating to avoid possible boot failure.
